Beautiful day in the hood

September 16, 2015

It was a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood…. so we went for a scooter ride! We scooted over to the bakery to get some bread and cookies…

and then scooted up to the park to play and eat those cookies!

It really was a BEAUTIFUL day and I loved getting to enjoy our neighborhood. As I’ve said before, sometimes I feel like we live in Mayberry! The only problem with Mayberry? People like to have dogs…big dogs that bark very loudly and run full force towards Maxwell and scare him TO DEATH. He was scooting along the sidewalk and these two dogs came running out barking so loud and poor Maxwell started screaming the most piercing scream and took off as fast as his little legs could take him. They startled and scared me too! Thankfully, they were stopped by their invisible fence. Maxwell was hysterical and scared and Spencer was screaming too. We made it on up to the park where we had another run-in with a little dog and Maxwell did NOT like that either. He even said to the owner “Shouldn’t he be on a leash?!” Ha! But, true. I have 100% sympathy for Maxwell because I was afraid of dogs as a kid and still am not a dog person in any way, shape or form. People always say “But this dog is so sweet. He wouldn’t hurt anyone!” That doesn’t matter. It’s a phobia just like being afraid of spiders or heights and Maxwell was definitely born with an internal fear of dogs. Needless to say, we’ll never have a pet pooch!

Regardless of the dog run-in, it was still a great afternoon…

Sunday Shower and Soccer

September 15, 2015

First, happy birthday to Uncle Keath!! Hope it’s a fantastic day in sunny Florida for you!

Second, it was a big day around here on Sunday! I drove down to Montgomery for Mary Beth’s baby shower and, thanks to a cancelled sitter, Samantha got to put on a party dress and go with me! Well, she actually ended up putting on 2 party dresses…the first one didn’t survive the ride down! Β πŸ™‚

It was a fun day and Samantha and the boys can’t wait to meet their new cousin in October.

Back in Birmingham, Maxwell had his first game of the new soccer season! He’s got the best coach on the field yet again…

He’s the green team this year and combined with his new orange shorts and shoes…he’s looking SHARP! Susan went and watched the game and stood in for me as Maxwell’s main cheerleader. I’m so grateful she was there. It was a fantastic game from what I heard. Maxwell hustled and got after the ball and even scored 3 goals!! woohoo!

Here’s to a great Sunday all around!

Samantha looked especially cute last week wearing the first dress my mom ever smocked for me. Awwww.

Her brothers definitely thought she looked adorable. ha!

Another thing I think is cute? When these crazy boys stick their heads out of the sunroof while we’re in carpool line. Safe? nah. Fun? yeah!
